BERLIN — SAP SE today announced three new SAP solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), including the SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service solution, SAP Connected Logistics software and the SAP Manufacturing Execution application. The new SAP solutions for the IoT are envisioned to leverage SAP HANA Cloud Platform for application enablement and advanced capabilities such as in-memory computing, predictive analytics and complex event processing. As part of its continued commitment to enable innovation in this space, SAP has announced the addition of 500 incremental dedicated developers to support various IoT initiatives. The announcement was made at SAP TechEd && d-code, being held November 11–13 in Berlin.
SAP solutions for the IoT are powered by SAP HANA Cloud Platform, which is the core application development and enablement platform and provides the ability to generate real-time insights from sensor data and advanced capabilities such as in-memory computing, geo-spatial, telematics, predictive analytics and complex event processing. In addition, SAP HANA Cloud Platform offers open APIs that allow third-party providers to develop IoT applications.
Built on SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service is planned to deliver deep unified insight by integrating operations and analytics on a single platform. To support innovation for continuous performance improvement, the solution is envisioned to help optimize the value of hard-won business and technical data as well as data from unstructured documents from various sources. The solution intends to help assess historic and sensor data to assist users in predicting a malfunction before it occurs to help prevent a negative impact on profits. Additionally, the SAP AR Service Technician mobile app empowers field technicians to complete work orders automatically generated by SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service in a hands-free environment using smart glass.
Built on SAP HANA Cloud Platform, SAP Connected Logistics is planned to allow logistics hub operators and others to monitor traffic toward and within a hub and facilitate communication between involved parties including those that do not have a direct business relationship. Furthermore, the software is planned to offer integration to backend transportation management systems, and lean dispatching capabilities for logistics service providers that do not have a sophisticated backend solution in place. SAP Connected Logistics customers can also use the recently announced AR warehouse picker mobile app that leverages wearable technology such as smart glass devices for a complete hands free operation, helping to eliminate the need for handheld scanners.
SAP Manufacturing Execution version 15.0 is envisioned to enable the Internet of Things for manufacturing operations. By integrating manufacturing results with real-time feeds into the SAP HANA platform, companies are expected to take advantage of the cloud for orchestrating and optimizing global operations — beyond a single production plant, use predictive analytics to drive cost efficiencies and achieve higher asset utilization. The new release includes support for SAP HANA, enhanced user experience, extended mobility and end-to-end enterprise integration for deeper manufacturing transparency. Leveraging SAP Manufacturing Execution with SAP HANA helps accelerate the promise of Industry 4.0 for innovative manufacturers.

Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians, Chicopee Woods Golf Course is a 27-hole course that sprawls across rolling terrain. It is one of the most popular public courses in the Gainesville area. The holes are divided into three nines called the Village, the School, and the Mill. They share the same scenic landscape but they each offer a different set of challenges. Five sets of tees provide the option of playing to your skill level. The Mill is the shortest of the three nines. Strategically placed bunkers come into play on almost every hole, you'll find plenty of them on the par-4 seventh. There are back-to-back water features starting with the second hole, the golf course's only water holes. Chicopee Woods GC also has a driving range and chipping and putting greens available.

I have been with Coldwell Banker Apex for five years in Rockwall, Tx. I recently transferred to the Waco office as I just moved to West, Texas. Waco is my hometown and I also lived in Hewitt, Tx and graduated from Midway High School. I also attended McLennan Community College. My husband Ray and I own and manage various real estate properties. We are currently living in the town of West and building a home West of West on our ranch. We have five sons ages 30 to 14 that keep us at all the football, basketball, track & FFA events. I also volunteer at The History of West Museum in West where I enjoy all aspects of ancestry research and local history.


Kevin was born and raised in Pasadena, Maryland. In 2007 he left for the Navy where he served five years onboard the U.S.S. Nimitz in San Diego and Seattle.

I recently stumbled across Blue Platypus when looking over what "Conscious Clothing" was available on ModCloth. Confession: despite my window shopping and online curation, I made a very important decision to make eco-friendly choices when adding items to my wardrobe. A Conscious Closet does not mean throwing everything you currently own out, but making sure your new items are not only about sustainable materials, but also knowing where your clothes are made, who made them, what conditions they were make in, were workers paid a fair wage, etc.
I know, you probably think that sounds like a lot of work. First off, the budget way to do this, which is how I have been adding to my closet all summer, is thrift shopping, because you are essentially recycling clothing. For those who prefer newer items, finding affordable, ethical clothing is getting easier, especially thanks to shops highlighting their Conscious Clothing, like ModCloth or even ASOS, who uses vintage fabric to create new pieces locally.
Also, since I am spending much of my time researching and casing out my favorite pieces, especially those at affordable price points, I will most likely be passing that information on to you. Like today's spotlight on Los Angeles-based Blue Platypus.
This company boasts 100% made in the United States products. The items are designed in Brighton, Michigan and produced in Los Angeles, where the company was founded. Blue Platypus began in 2003 by Scooter (Scott) and Heidi Gates, plus their financial wizard who goes by the name Big Dave. Their love of 1920s to 1970s shows through their designs, which is probably why I adore them (my home is pulled together by pieces from the 1920s to the 1960s). Their collection includes geometric designs, organic shapes, quirky juxtapositions, and simple silhouettes in what they refer to as a "cornucopia of flavors."
Though Blue Platypus has a wonderful collection of dresses, skirts, hoodies (which they refer to as "zippies"), and scarves, I decided that my first introduction to them should focus on their wonderful graphics collection featured on tees, tanks, and long sleeve shirts. I find them each visual striking, charming, and something I would happily add to my closet, thanks to their great designs and beautiful colors.
Blue Platypus is definitely an example of how knowing who makes your clothes and where your clothes are made can be a fun and whimsical experience. In addition to the site linked above, you can follow Blue Platypus on Instagram or Facebook. Check out the curated collection below and check back for future looks into Conscious Clothing on Cardigans and Cravats.

The United States Strategy to Empower Adolescent Girls ensures that adolescent girls get the education they deserve. As a part of USAID's global contribution to empower adolescent girls, USAID/Pakistan will provide $70 million to new and ongoing programs that benefit 200,000 adolescent girls aged 10-19 across the country.
Announced in October 2015, USAID Pakistan is seeking opportunities to foster public-private partnerships and collaborate with other development partners to advance girls' education and empowerment. The program will serve as a platform and catalyst for broader political and social commitment to strengthen adolescent girls' education and empowerment in Pakistan. Young women in Pakistan face barriers and lack of access to education opportunities from an early age due to poverty, cultural norms, and geographic isolation. Empowering girls and ensuring them access to quality education has long-term, transformational benefits for their own future, their families and communities, and for Pakistan's economic prosperity overall.
Provide small grants to support innovative activities to reduce barriers, improve equitable access to quality education, and build local capacity to improve adolescent girls' education and empowerment.
Support training, scholarships, and internships for talented but financially disadvantaged adolescent girls that create paths to higher education, entrepreneurship, and employment.
Improve reading instruction and materials, supportive policies, and community mobilization to create a culture of reading.
Build and rehabilitate schools, including schools in conflict and disaster-affected areas, and provide access to basic education for adolescent girls in internally displaced or conflict-affected communities.
In Punjab, USAID small grants have created safe learning environments, special schools and accelerated learning programs for out-of-school girls, and trained teachers.
In Sindh, USAID has supported functional literacy skills trainings to protect adolescents against child labor, promoted inclusion of adolescent girls with special needs in mainstream schools, provided skills training for employment in the garment industry, delivered school supplies, and conducted enrollment campaigns.
In Balochistan, USAID has provided school supplies and conducted enrollment campaigns.
In Khyber Pahktunkhwa and the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas, USAID has rehabilitated and refurbished schools damaged by conflict or used to house displaced families, and constructed boundary walls to increase safety and latrines to promote privacy for girls.
Empowered Female Teachers: Teachers make the biggest impact on what students learn in the classroom. With a female teacher in the classroom, parents are more likely to send their daughters to school. Since the launch of this program in Pakistan, USAID has trained nearly 1,880 female teachers on instructional techniques that encourage active participation and help build students' confidence.
Developed Girls' Reading Skills: Reading is the foundational skill upon which all future learning – and earning – is built. USAID reading programs have reached over 382,000 girls since the launch of this program.
Increased Girls' Access to Education, particularly in Crisis-affected Areas: Since the launch of the program in Pakistan, USAID support helped enroll or re-enroll over 37,000 girls in school in FATA, KP, and Sindh and built or rehabilitated over 158 girls or co-ed schools.


My name is Dr. Janice Powis, I'm a doctor of Audiology and my office, "Quincy Hearing" is likely to be only a few minutes away from you in Quincy Center on Boston's South Shore if you are reading this.
I'm pleased to tell you that many of your neighbors have been relying on our practice for hearing healthcare and device technology for quite some time. (The practice has been here for about 45 years).
WHY MIGHT PEOPLE GO TO AN AUDIOLOGIST? HOW MIGHT YOU BENEFIT FROM HEARING LOSS TREATMENT?
Reason #1: Hearing allows us to engage in the world of sound around us. It offers us comfort (the soothing sound of a mother's lullaby) and protection (a fire alarm for instance).
Reason #2: Hearing allows us to live a fuller, more vibrant and active lifestyle. Don't miss out on conversation with your loved one at your favorite family restaurant. Hear the sounds of music with the full and rich textures they are meant to be experienced with.
Reason #3: Research has proven time and time again that those individuals that are proactive about their hearing healthcare age with more grace and have a reduced risk of lots of scary situations like dementia, depression, and decreased cognition.
Perhaps the most compelling reason to never put off a hearing test and treatment is simply this: We "hear" with our brain, not with our ears. When we have a hearing loss, the connections in the brain that respond to sound become weakened.
There are also many other wonderful benefits to moving forward with hearing loss treatment such as better communication in relationships, ease in communication, sense of control over life events, and even better physical health!
WHAT IS SEEING AN AUDIOLOGIST LIKE?
Depending on your situation you will likely be asked to complete some basic forms. You will be asked about your hearing history to understand any medical issues that could be affecting your health. A communication assessment may be used to determine when and where you are experiencing difficulty. Your ears will be examined in a way that is neither invasive nor uncomfortable. You will then have your hearing tested in a sound booth after which your results will be reviewed with you. Its easy and 100% private and comfortable!
Our office looks and "feels" very much like a doctor's office. And, incidentally, every licensed Audiologist has at least 4 years of doctoral level education and training and is very knowledgeable about anatomy and the auditory system. In addition, I have been in the private practice setting for many years now and have provided successful outcomes to hundreds of people that have struggled greatly with hearing loss before deciding to take action.
I am a professional. Your experience at Quincy Hearing will be professional in every way. Our patients also often report it to be relaxing and enjoyable.
Many primary care and ENT doctors refer patients to me for their hearing loss treatment (And we accept insurance assignment in most of these cases).
YOUR VISIT ENTITLES YOU TO A FREE CONSULTATION AND HEARING CHECK-UP.
To introduce you to the many benefits of hearing loss treatment, I invite you to come in for a quick consultation.
Hearing Loss is something you shouldn't ignore. Muffling of speech and other sounds, difficulty understand words, trouble hearing consonants, and frequently asking others to speak more slowly or loudly — these are "warning signs" from your body and mind to you. Your mind is warning you that is in need of some help and not getting what it needs. Hearing loss treatment is a benefit-laden approach. Try it! And there are other surprisingly simple things you can do for yourself, at home to ensure you are hearing your best – all things we can tell you about during your consultation.
Dr. Janice Powis, Audiologist – A.u.D.
PS: Men and women of all ages in many cases can benefit from hearing loss treatment. When you come in for your free consultation, we'll discuss your particular health history, lifestyle circumstances, work, ETC, and I'll be able to tell you more about how our services can specifically benefit you.

Famous Wrecks
Expert to unfurl the majestic tale of the Titanic
In Famous Wrecks
By Helen Jardine - BDA Sun
More than two decades ago he was collecting jewellery from the deck of the RMS Titanic, two and a half miles beneath the ocean's surface.
Last week he was discussing climate change and space travel with Buzz Aldrin - the second man ever to walk on the moon.
This week ocean explorer, doctor and author Joe MacInnis is in Bermuda to give a talk on the exploration and salvage of one of the world's most famous shipwrecks.
"Titanic is one of those wonderful, extraordinary, majestic stories that everybody can project themselves into," Dr. MacInnis said. "People wonder where they could be on that ship and ask themselves, 'what would I have done on that night?'"
Dr. MacInnis went on his first dive of the Titanic in 1987, when he says he had an "extraordinary experience".
He explained: "I was with the French team and we were at the bottom of the ocean looking into the sediment and the pilot stopped the submarine and said, 'What's that?'
"It was a small bronze statue of a woman with an uplifted arm, about three feet long. And we recognized it right away because it was such an iconic image - it was the statue that stood at the bottom of the grand staircase.

A thing I've done for years now, particularly with indie family musicians, is to find the performer/band's website and drop them a quick email to let them know that we like their stuff and where I heard about it.
But when you take the time to also say, "I found out about you from [source]," it's vitally useful to their future marketing strategies.
For instance, I heard about Monty Harper's excellent science-based kids' music from the Parenting Beyond Belief podcast, and I made sure he knew that. I've told other indie/small scale artists about having heard them first on Pandora. I told Dave Carroll that I bought his album "Perfect Blue" because I'd heard of his viral YouTube video "United Breaks Guitars" but that now I'm more in love with other songs on it (particularly "Now" and "The Place that I Call Home").
And of course Charles Dowd knows that I found out about his girl-positive comic Lilith Dark because of asking for specifically that sort of thing on G+.
Indie creators know when their friends buy their stuff it's because of that personal relationship, but are often bewildered as to how random strangers heard of their work. Is this sale a friend-of-a-friend thing, or did a promotion strategy actually work this time?
Last month I ran a coupon for "Finding Gaia" on Smashwords. One person used it. But my current Amazon stats show five sales so far for February, two of which were from before the coupon. Were those other three related to the promotion? Did people forego the coupon because they prefer to buy from Amazon? Or did they just see reviews on Goodreads and happen to buy during the coupon period without even knowing it was available?
Indie creators spend a lot of time on marketing that they could be spending on more creation. If fans take a moment to let creators know what promotions worked, it goes a long way to helping reduce wasted time for everyone and focusing future campaigns more effectively.
So today, go tell an indie or small-scale creator you like that you like them and where you heard about their stuff. You'll be making someone's day in multiple ways.

There's a debate in some countries, but it's not particularly controversial in others. Victoria sheds a stifling faith and the brutal oppression of a stagnant community, hastening to the opportunities of urban life. As the lead singer proclaims her love, it sounds like another version of the classic good girl-bad boy archetype of girl group pop songs, dating back to the Ronettes in the early '60s. Can we make an educated guess at what comes next? This cultural lens is more than a simple mesh of black aesthetics and science fiction. After the war he returned to Chicago, and became a teacher and activist. It's a sublime example of the band assimilating disparate sonic elements as if they should have always existed in that way. The instrumentation suggests something holy and spiritual but in a superficial way.
Wooley and his ensemble have found a way to convey a cold openness aurally an unobtrusively. Still, that is not its sole role, and throughout the record, the sax creates many much more tense moments. They are tasty tracks with the strong flavor of the rural South. When it comes to experimentation, that is handled sparingly and mostly on the background. His discography covers not only scathing noise-pop but accessible, canonical art-rock with more than a pinch of provocation. Ziggy Stardust is an album written by an aspirant rock star in the guise of a hugely successful one.
Fleshing out the off-kilter metallic mix with fatter guitars, genuine pop songs, string sections, keyboards, and a cinematic flourish, is a glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style and the logical culmination of glam. Vince Gill appears on the track, imparting even more country resonance for the journey taken. The improvisations, however, are free rather than tracking a harmonic form, resulting in a different kind of structure: with the melody acting as a kind of question and the solos becoming responses or answers rather than variations hemmed in by the theme. It ends up a little slower, more somber than the group's first album, music to contemplate rather than to get down to on the dance floor. Born out of a fascination with child exorcism, the performance serves as a precursor to the album, housing the lyrics for about half the tracks.
This attribute even becomes a portal, which transports Teeth of the Sea to completely unexpected directions. Countless collaborators, musicians, arrangers and Sinatra himself were interviewed for the book, offering insight to the Sinatra sound and who and what was involved in its success. Kidnapping is a crime of opportunity -- people are in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and terrorists rarely bother to determine someone's nationality before snatching them. Perhaps, this thought can be understood through Afrofuturism. After the war he returned to Chicago, and became a teacher and activist. It's unfortunate the record was not more commercially successful, but the history of popular music is full of unheralded and unheard masterpieces known only to cult audiences. It makes for a pleasant way to end an album that never shies away from the rougher parts of life.
An encounter with the title structure, a massive icefield in the Rocky Mountains, provokes an experience of the sublime, of awe in something natural we're unable to appreciate fully. Bleak spoken word intersects with the horn, the scattered drums, and a guitar that references the opening of the album. Thus, it's restrained and rapturous at the same time, leaving you fulfilled and contemplative in equal measure. Recorded at Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon, the album is a canvas portraying thankfulness while paying tribute to family. This music video uses footage I shot between 1998 and 2000, my college years spent becoming part of a queer community, figuring out who I was, learning about punk rock and studying film-making.
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Betty McGlown, and Florence Ballard, all from a Detroit housing project, were still in their teens when they came to Motown's attention in the early '60s initially monikered the Primettes, after the Primes, who eventually became the Temptations. In many cases, it does. In the process, he became a beloved and valued figure, the closest thing Chicago has to a griot. The bridge also connects the 16th century to the present black consciousness, resting over an inherited, intergenerational trauma. This track offers the clearest sense of direction even while exploring the largest breadth of silence. It's only afterward that nationality becomes an issue, in terms of the response of the citizen's home country.
The collection will inspire, raises consciousness, and empowers. Vince Gill appears on the track, imparting even more country resonance for the journey taken. If you undermine that value, then they have no incentive for keeping them alive. It is also inherently a dance record: not for the club perhaps but a recording that is endlessly coming up with new ways to shake your hips or get you strutting. Friedwald picks apart these projects and also offers plenty of music theory that might intimidate the casual fan.
It's a bold metaphor for an artist raised as a Seventh-Day Adventist in small-town South Carolina, and as limber as Victoria's poetry is, she often reserves subtlety for the music itself. The idea of the Columbia Icefield takes on the resonance here, perhaps more than the thing itself, in Wooley's search for expressing something large and intensely other. Possessing an impeccable voice, magnetic good looks, and irrepressible charm, he was also an acclaimed film actor whose affiliations with politicians on both the left and later the right incited both approval and ire. That is, the wake is the enduring ripple of the Transatlantic slave ships, which drags asunder even in the present. The staggering number of albums he has released as a solo artist, a bandleader, a sideman, or a collaborator over the last 20 years are exhibit A in the case for why Matthew Shipp's premature retirement would have left a gaping hole in 21st century jazz. The track's length offers something of a glacial expanse, and the shift from Wooley to Alcorn as the primary sound helps it develop, but it stands as an oddity, never quiet ambient or minimalist, and never quite a trek or a melodic statement. Kidnapping is, he explains, an occupational hazard for journalists.
And it is through playing with Motian that Lovano collaborated with Crispell. And even though this work does not find the band at its most adventurous, it is an album that completely represents what Royal Trux is all about. The band also now confirms a subsequent run of tour dates in April, with shows in Toronto, Ottawa, Portland, and Providence April 4th through 7th. This cultural lens is more than a simple mesh of black aesthetics and science fiction. In addition, Ziggy Stardust marks the first time Bowie ventured into sustained conceptual territory. Teeth of the Sea, the psychedelic, experimental band from London, appear to take a cue from such acts, and throughout their discography they have been able to evolve and mutate. Hang On to Yourself 5.
Without question, music has the ability to inspire and agitate while supporting liberation and rebellion. Not only has this communal, politicized movement inspired some of the most exciting electronic music of this decade, but also, it has developed a distinct, powerful voice for artists who are queer, people of color, Third World, and more. There's not a stale track here, and the collection's 70 minutes pass by in a whirlwind of energy. They're doing public executions and videotaping violence and terrorizing whole communities and controlling physical territory in some parts of Mexico, so they're really behaving like terror groups. It's eccentric music, perhaps, but oddly lovely. To retain that flame for that amount of time, and through a 14-year long break, is quite astounding. .


Optimise both fertility management and feeding management for your herd. Find out how farmers are using the latest GEA CowScout technology to get up-to-date information on their cows' fertility and react in real-time!
Farmers care for their animals and their health is of vital importance so in support of dairy farmers globally and in the UK, GEA has developed the CowScout technology which provides and analyses information about the herd.
Working 24/7, CowScout reliably monitors and analyses the behaviours of the cows wearing either the neck or leg device. Dairy farmers are able to optimise both fertility and feeding management through the immediate alert function when a cow is exhibiting reduced eating and rumination times.
By having this data farmers can identify sick cows early and minimise treatment costs and potentially prevent drops in milk production. The herd's reproduction data, eating and rumination times are accessible on PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone and updated through an internet connection in real-time.
If desired, CowScout can send the respective alerts directly to the farmer or insemination technician via e-mail and ensure that all parties always have the latest information.
